History of the Wimmera early stations and founders
The narrative traces the first stations in the Wimmera region, their owners, and the opening of overland routes from Port Phillip to Sydney, including Gardiner and Hepburn’s roles, and Mitchel's expedition. It covers tallow industry origins during drought, station development, and early settlement struggles through 1842, with notes on key figures and property transitions.
